GS 750 head on gs 1000?

[terry]

Hmmnnn, after reading about Wes Cooleys Yoshimura race bike, and looking at the pics of his engine's internals, particularly the top cam chain idler sprocket between the cam sprockets, I'm thinking that for a modified engine that sure would be cheap insurance against the cam chain riding over a cam sprocket and the resulting damage. So who can tell me if the GS750 head is a bolt on fit for the GS1000?

I'm talking 8 valve heads here for both engines, so I can't see a problem with it apart from maybe the length of the cam chain and the smaller combustion chambers increasing the compression? Does anyone out there in GS Land know? :twisted:

I read that article, too. I remember them saying they grafted the top idler sprocket from a 750 head onto the 1000 head. I'm guessing they had a good reason for doing this instead of just bolting on a 750 head. Maybe there's valve clearance issues?.
